those ebay performance thingys (WITH PICS NOW)

yeah the resistor part is true, its a box for a reason....theres no magical chip in it, probably a resistor with wire and some electrical tape inside of it, either that or its a circuit board with one resistor on it so it looks like they knew what they were doing.

if it doesnt help at all on my 1/4 mile time ill bash it with a hammer and tell you whats inside, ill even post pics lol

Nice lol thats what i did with mine after 4-5 months of using it, piece of crap lol

i cant use my consistently anyways b/c driving the interstate at the speedlimit gives me about 15-17mpg mabye and dont like running 4-6k rpm in third for long periods of time lol

this might be good tho if you have a manual trans.

this might be good tho if you have a manual trans.

it works well for me in my automatic i have nice proven results on it on the 1/4 mile, just the loss of third gear means i only run it when im planning on racing

[mikedudley17]

yeh and thats good, the fact that its only a resistor and its a cheap mod makes it better. but im sayin that with a manual you cant loose a gear cus your in control so it would be a definite plus that way. i dont have an auto but isnt there still a way to put it in the gear you want? i might just build my own resistor box and put it in. we'll see.

yeah i think i put that on another post that it would probably yield better results with a manual

[mikedudley17]

hhhmmm im still fairly new to this forum, havent been able to read all the threads yet. but you can trulysay with confidence that it works.

Dont waste your money on those things man like i said you can reproduce these for 90 cents, why pay 40-50 buks, i tried it and i know, i even bought more then 1 cuz i tried one on my 1st car.

They dont work, they will only make your car guzzle more gas, your wayyyyy better off to get the intake redone for 50 buks then spend it on a resistor.
